In 1654 a raggle-taggle band of twenty three Jews arrived in New Amsterdam, a New World colony on the shores of a continent with no established Jewish presence. The next three hundred years marked both the founding and flourishing of the United States of America and the establishment of a Jewish American community woven into the very fabric of the new nation. The Jewish Americans met an unprecedented challenge to develop what is arguably "the most unique, innovative, and diverse culture that Jews have ever known".
